Solved my issue by buying a very good condition " [color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Dell Latitude D630 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo 60GB SSD 4GB RAM Windows 7 Pro[/color]" for £100 - it's purely for work and doesn't have the NVidea card fitted which has caused previous Dells to overheat and die.
The SSD drive is bloody quick and i'm a happy bunny. I now have a new challenge.....
My old Dell Latitude D620 laptop running XP has a lot of info on it and need to transfer it across to the new D630. To me there must be a way of using the Ethernet ports and a network switch (have switch and leads) with a full access new folder or something on the new laptop to transfer the info. Trouble is, I'm not sure if I'm correct in my thinking.
Any ideas welcome
Cheers again :thumbup

To be brutally honest I was one click away from reverting back to Windows 7 a couple of nights ago because I couldn't see a solution to what was going on, but I knew if I persevered I would get there eventually and sort something out, then 15 minutes later it was all sorted.
Once you've played about with Windows 10 it isn't too different from Windows 7 and it made sense to grab it while it's free because it is still an upgrade whichever way you look at it.
All new things have teething troubles but they will get fixed in good time.
